Your outsized impact on youth ministry

While you probably don’t lead the youth ministry in your church, you play an outsized and irreplaceable role in creating the overall environment and culture where young people can thrive! Please don’t believe the lie that you’re not central to the formation and discipleship of today’s young people.

Here are three ways you can take action now!

Empathize with their journey:

Look for an opportunity in the next week to have a conversation with a young person or youth leader over coffee or a meal.

Advocate and educate in your church:

Use every platform to advocate for the importance of this generation in the body of Christ.

Make young people a top priority:

We recommend you place the discipleship of young people in the top 5 priorities of your church - in terms of resources, attention, and your time.

We want our young people to know why they believe what they believe. To see how their Christian faith shapes their day-to-day lives. But it’s hard to teach foundational truths of the faith in a way that feels relevant to life today. We are here to help.

Faith Foundations is a series of videos and discussion guides created to ignite theological dialogue between young people and the adults in their lives.
